02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
No production figures recorded yet.
History
The Sil80 started as a conversion by 180SX owners who replaced the costly popup-headlight front end with a Silvia front end, which was cheaper and easier to find.
The tuner Kids-Heart then built official Sileighty cars, which the guide says were sold in 1998 after Nissan dealerships approved the idea.
